what is the bolt size for a 5s-fe valve cover?

[Nick]

10mm

[88 LE]

Its 30mm.

[Nick]

for a valve cover? is it one of those 2 central ish huge plastic nuts?

i was thinking of the type with a dozen little bolts around, oops

*takes foot out of mouth*

[Nick]

i wouldn't buy a 10$ socket just for that though, channel locks would do the job

Theres 4 big nuts on the valve cover. They screw onto the top of the sparkplug tubes.

A left handed metric cresent wrench will also work if you don't have a 30mm socket.

For only "$10" you might as well just buy the right tool to begin with... chances are you'll use it again.

97KaMuRi, when you get that valve cover off, would you be so kind as to post a picture? Thanks.

[97KaMuRi]

i will take the pics dont worry about that i just never had time to do it.

don't bother, if 88le says its 30mm, that's what it is

He's going to pull the valve cover off to take a pic of the cams.

Anyways the nuts holding the valve cover are 30mm. I remember going to Sears and buying a 30mm socket.

I dun gots me one of them left handed adjustable wrenches offun E-Bay only cost me 35 dollars. Guy I bought it from said they costs 50. He waid it was a wittleworth though. Where can I gets a metric one?

I dun gots some left handed spanner pliers too from the same guy.

I am so happy I can now work with both hands.

When I used to be the test bay foreman where I work I had a running gag similar to that.

When we found something miswired and the wire was just a few inches short I would send the new technologists back to the electrical dept. foreman to get his "wire stretcher" that he had in the lockup.

Oh ya .. 30 mm is correct.
